Monday 24 August:


Went for my ‘usual’ dawn walk around the harbour (first dawn walk since before Eastville ‘break’)… on a pretty murky+moist morning.
Put together a quick breakfast using leftover beans, broccoli and a couple of eggs on toast.
Spent some time reflecting on the number of our friends who seemed to be ignoring social distancing and generally getting together ‘normally’ with their families… felt a real sense of annoyance and frustration. I’d asked a question on facebook about current guidelines and, clearly, there were some people who felt that using a bit of common sense was all that was needed. I beg to differ! I’d originally planned on writing a post on my regular blog, but ended up deciding that I didn’t want to hurt people’s feelings and what, clearly, some regard as a very sensitive issue. In the end, I just posted it on to my private ‘reflection’ blog.
Ru+Iris+Rosa popped in to see us after lunch – and it was so lovely to see them.
Spent the rest of the day either reading, listening to the cricket (shortened day due to rasin/bad light) and finishing a St Ives sketch of Upper Saltings via google/streetview.
Watched an excellent lecture by David Olusoga (James MacTaggart Lecture at Edinburgh TV Festival 2020) via YouTube Live.
